People buy used sex toys? I couldn't even if it was sterilized in an autoclave.

Lol, the community over in reddit basically had as many people buying/selling as they did posts of people using the products. I think they had it in the forums for the bd site as well.

I'll be honest, I'm often less inclined to go to the lengths many would go to satisfy their libido. I guess if I ever decide to date again, I'll be sure not to date anyone who has an affinity for bad dragon because used sex toys is definitely a hard no from me.

I mean, I agree with you, personally, but I would make a bet that the amount of people trading sex toys is both bigger than you think, but still so small that you'd never meet one in your dating life.

I sort of want the stats on who trades toys now, just to compare to the amount of people buying dragon-like objects in the first place.
